While the decrease in President Obama's approval rating gives me some hope that Americans are opening their eyes, it is only a small sign of progress.
A recent survey showed that 60% of Obama voters did not know which party controlled Congress in Washington D.C. So giving Obama and his party control of virtually every branch of government was not even a consideration in over half of those who voted for Mr. Obama.
Isn't it ironic that in our so-called "information age" more people were uninformed on one of the most important decisions of our decade. [how sad they chose not to avail themselves of the information which was right under their nose].
And Rom Emmanual's public admission that Obama's team needs to "take advantage" of this crisis -- and pass legislation which would never have been publicly pallatable in better times -- is almost criminal.
Are we going to accept "pork after pork" from a president who vowed on the campaign trail not to allow any earmarks?
And are we going to accept Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi -- who raised her hand in oath on national TV and pledged that the 1 trilltion dollar "stimulous bill" would contain no pork...and after it's passed we find out it was more than 75% of needless pork....? Even the media reported it was packed with political "paybacks" to Obama's special-interest supporters!
Well, I ask you my fellow Americans. Are we "mad as hell" yet?
Our ONLY recourse it seems is to endure this hell and remember these actions vividly come mid-term elections in 2010.
This President who campaigned on "change" promising the change the face of Washington has proceeded to appoint the "rank and file" liberals we have seen in places of power for decades. Nothing new there. The only "change" we have witnessed so far is the level to which they can soak the American people and take away our freedoms.
Don't stand for it! The U.S. Government is NOT our savior -- and American must be governed FOR the people, BY THE PEOPLE -- not by a bunch of corrupt liberals who have no new ideas. Tax and spend -- is their old mantra. And if this is Obama's brand of "change" -- you can keep the "change."
